And why in the name of Cubby R Brocolli did the insipid and barely understandable theme song from Skyfall get a nod as well? Worst. Bond. Theme. Ever. And yes, I'm including The Living Daylights and License To Kill. I'd rather here that Christmas tree one from OHMSS than this bland toss on toast.

Agree with this. The way Adele mangles the English language to try and get the lyrics to scan makes me angry enough to club baby seals. What the fuck does crum-ball mean and why does her pronounciation of Skyfall make it sound like she's singing about scaffold?

Worst Bond song ever indeed, just ahead of Die Another Day and the above mentioned License to Kill.

Regardless of thoughts on the Skyfall theme (which I really like), there should be absolutely no arguments that Die Another Day isn't only the worst Bond song, but one of the worst songs ever sung.

"Die Another Day" was a bad tune but at least it had a tune unlike that bilge Jack White and Alicia Keyes served up for QoS.

That wasn't a great song, but it was still a mile better than Die Another Day.

There were loose ends / things that were silly / things that didn't make sense, but I've only seen it once, so I can't quote them to you.

Well, if he can't see the film has plot holes, he has the blinders on = fanboy.

I didn't hate the DKR's but I wouldn't award it five stars - like Empire did.

Shouting "plotholes!" over and over again will not make a film less good. North by Northwest has loads of them and it is a masterpiece.

It doesn't make a film great either, which the DKR's clearly isn't. And I suppose it depends on the plot hole and how gaping it is. Anyway I really don't care enough about this film to keep talking about it.

Agreed. It's like everything has to be explained in films today. I preferto be left with questions.

I'll give you an example of a plot hole. In Journey 2: the Mysterious Island, the Island sinks every so often, but at the end of the film it clearly gets destroyed as it sinks. How does it resurface again, with superglue? That's not a question, it's just silly.

I was talking about little plot holes. Obviously that's stupid. There again those kind of films don't really appeal to me at all.

If I peed my pants would you pretend that I just got wet from the rain?

Not as disappointed with the nominations this year as I was last year. Surprised like Tim Bevan that Tom Hooper wasn't nominated. It's the like the same thing as the lack of Spielberg in the BAFTA noms! I actually want watch this year, but as ever it's on a school night. Damn.

even though the review was quite accurate for the hobbit and it didnt recapture the glory of the lotr movies, the hobbit should have some more nominations such as: cinematography, costume design, music and especialy best song!

The Dark Knight Rises hasn't been nominated for anything, I can't believe it. Were's Ben Affleck, Christopher Nolan and Katherine Bigelow for best director, were's all the other nominations The Master deserved. The Academy really do work in mysterious ways.

Also if Django wins Best Picture, it'll probably give Spike Lee an aneurysm.

He's more likely to die of over-inflated self-importance as only three films in the history of the Oscars have won without a Best Director nomination, and only one of those was in the past eighty years.
